A number of local charities feel increasingly strict rules on charity gaming are limiting the money they can raise at events.

14th District State Senator Dennis Kruse says, “We've had some for profit entities that came in and did some things wrong and took too much of the money. We want the money to go to charity and I think by just tweaking some little things, it will help a lot of the local charities.”

American Legion Post 82 is closing after losing its charity gaming license.

Funding for regional transportation was also discussed at the event.
